Hello All,
I'm conducting a security assessment and suddenly I got an interesting question. When I inserted an USB hard disk with screensaver turned on, I can see that my hard disk has been enabled and autoplay must have been executed. However, can an autorun program be executed when screensaver turned on? Is there any way that I can make the autorun executed even with screensaver turned on?
Please advise.
Thx.
Ricci
Does not work on Windows 2000/XP by default, but I see no reason why you couldn't set one up to do it.
This is from an old thread, but it will point you in the right directioin. http://seclists.org/lists/pen-test/2003/May/0041.html
